Power saving action module for toy gun

Abstract

The action module includes an action member, a switch element, and an activation element. The action member includes a power provision device. The switch element is on the action member electrically connected to the power provision device, and includes a switch trigger. The activation element is rotatably configured on the action member adjacent to the switch element, and includes a magazine contact part to be pressed or released when a magazine is mounted to or removed from the action module, and a switch engaging part for engaging the switch trigger. As such, by the interaction between the switch element and the activation element, the toy gun does not function as long as the magazine is not mounted, and therefore electrical power will not be wasted. The action module may work with any type of magazines.

I claim: 
     
       1. An action module for a toy gun, comprising:
 an action member comprising a power provision device; 
 a switch element on the action member electrically connected to the power provision device, where the switch element comprises a switch trigger; and 
 an activation element rotatably configured on the action member adjacent to the switch element, where the activation element comprises a magazine contact part to be pressed or released when a magazine is mounted to or removed from the action module, and a switch engaging part for engaging the switch trigger. 
 
     
     
       2. The action module according to  claim 1 , wherein the power provision device is engaged by a gun trigger of the toy gun. 
     
     
       3. The action module according to  claim 1 , wherein the magazine contact part is located along a path along which the magazine is mounted or removed. 
     
     
       4. The action module according to  claim 1 , wherein the activation element further comprises and a pivot part located between the magazine contact part and the switch engaging part. 
     
     
       5. The action module according to  claim 1 , further comprising an elastic element coupled to the activation element. 
     
     
       6. The action module according to  claim 1 , wherein the toy gun is one of an electrically powered gun, a gas powered gun, a paintball gun, and an air gun. 
     
     
       7. The action module according to  claim 1 , wherein the action member further comprises a stopper element located around where the activation element rotatably joined to the action member. 
     
     
       8. The action module according to  claim 7 , wherein the activation element further comprises a limiting part for engagement with the stopper element so as to confine the rotation of the activation element.
